Smetana's cycle "My Country" is a pinnacle of symphonic literature. There is nothing quite like it: six musical poems which,
while independent of each other, form an organic whole. As a composer, Smetana was in the vanguard. This visionary work is
unmistakably personal, connected to the Czech nation's tragic history and to the Bohemian-Moravian landscape; it is not only
about memory, it also gives hope for the future, brilliantly describing landscapes of the human soul. As such it goes beyond
time, to create something of a lasting significance. This is music of nostalgia, which sets thoughts and emotions free. After
hearing "My Country," one emerges stronger. Every one of these six pieces has a tremendous energy, and enables one to live
with melancholy and sorrow: the work transforms the listener and enriches his soul

Experience the 2011 Glyndebourne Festival production of Benjamin Britten's two-act opera The Turn of the Screw, whose libretto
by Myfanwy Piper is based on the book by Henry James. The plot of The Turn of the Screw truly is as described in the opera's
Prologue a "curious story". An isolated manor in the English countryside, a faithful old chambermaid, two young orphans and
a new governess filled with enthusiasm, sent from London to take care of them. But nothing is as it seems in the protected
world of Bly... Directed by Jakub Hrůša, Musical Director of Glyndebourne on Tour, Jonathan Kent's strangely disturbing
production was filmed at the Glyndebourne Festival in 2011. The staging updates Henry James' late-Victorian ghost story to
the postwar England in which Britten composed the opera, a choice that, as put by Martin Kettle in The Gaurdian "is very effective,
underlining that Britten, not James is the evening's presiding spook". With the score realized by an assured cast of soloists,
supported by the London Philharmonic under Edward Gardner, the production serves up a shiver-inducing evening of insidious
musical mystery
